Not sure if you saw how the Padres beat the Dodgers on Saturday night. The Dodgers led the Padres 6-5 in the top of the ninth with runners on second and third and two outs, Kenley Jansen looking to close it out. But as he scratched at the pitching rubber and turned his back, Everth Cabrera took off for home plate. Jansen then threw the ball away and Will Venable came all the way around to score the go-ahead run.

Definitely a tough way to lose, although the Dodgers at least had one more at-bat. Was it the worst way to lose a game? (I mean, not counting heartbreaking playoff defeats.) Eric Karabell and Mark Simon had fun talking about this on Monday's Baseball Today podcast. What do you think? (Also: Here's a great piece from Chris Jaffe at The Hardball Times that recounts other memorable/crazy defeats.)

Example: Aug. 23, 2009. The Mets trail the Phillies 9-6 entering the bottom of the ninth but two errors and a base hit make it 9-7 to put runners at first and second with no outs. With the runners on the move, Jeff Francoeur hits a line shot up the middle -- which Phillies second baseman Eric Bruntlett catches, steps on second and tags Daniel Murphy for an unassisted triple play.

Example: Sept. 27, 2011. The Dodgers score five runs in the top of the 10th inning in Arizona to take a 6-1 lead. Blake Hawksworth gets the first two outs. The Diamondbacks chip away, an error keeps the inning going and it's 6-3 with the bases loaded and two outs. Ryan Roberts facing Javy Guerra. Roberts clears the bases.
